Explore at your own pace with a private vehicle, driver, and English-speaking guide at your service. With your private vehicle and the personalized attention of your driver and English-speaking guide, you will have the flexibility and independence to take in the sights at your own pace.
Embark on a beautiful journey to the enchanting town of Chefchaouen. Forty miles south of Tetouan and just a few hours away from Tangier, Chefchaouen is a blue-washed city in north Morocco with a history of Spanish influence. It is in the heart of the Rif Mountains, where surrounding trees, hills, springs, and wildflowers attract visitors looking for a calm getaway.
In the 1600s, Moulay Ismail built Chefchaouen as an Arab fortress. In the centuries that followed, Chaouen, as it is known to the Moroccans, transformed from a Spanish prison into what it is today. It is a great place to explore one of the country's most interesting medinas (Old Towns). Walk along the main avenue and enter the medina through Bab l'Ain. In the Nouvelle Ville, you can sit in Place Mohammed V Park and enjoy the view of the mountains in the background during the springtime.
The Old Town is a photographer's delight. It is one of the few places in Morocco with an octagonal minaret next to the Grand Mosque.
You will have time to purchase lunch (at your own expense).
Capacity: 4 guests. Your private party may be of any size up to the maximum capacity.
